Review: The KONG Jumbler Football

I interrupt our irregular schedule of posting to bring you a product review.  To start, we never get asked to review something~I know, how could that be?  So, to be asked to just give an honest opinion on a toy by a company whose products I have bought plenty of over the years, of course I agreed. 

Now onto our review!

 About two weeks ago we received a KONG Jumbler FootBall, courtesy of the KONG company.

The Jumbler Football is a recently introduced KONG product, and is available in two shapes (football and round) and two sizes (M/L and L/XL).  Because of the Goldens, I always buy "Golden sized" toys for Todd, so I asked for the L/XL football.

This toy is different than any other toy our gang has had before and I felt they would like playing with it for several reasons.  For one, it has everything our dogs love, handles to make it easy for them to carry it, a tennis ball inside, and best of all, it squeaks, which is always a plus in a toy for them. The Jumbler didn't disappoint!

~Todd when he realized that the Jumbler squeaked~

The handle on either end means that I can hold one end and play a little game of tug and it makes it easier to throw it too -- Retrieving is, of course, one of our crew's favorite games. The squeaker is loud and really gets their attention, and for our gang, it makes it more fun for them to play with.

As with all toys, it's meant for supervised use, and the Jumbler is not designed to be a "chew toy" but I can't keep our dogs from doing that, especially Todd.  So, I did let Todd and his powerful Scottie jaws "test-chew" it for a couple of minutes, under strict, direct supervision.  While he was able to somewhat get his Scottie sized mouth around it, I feel it is too large to be a choking hazard for him or the others.  Like so many of the KONG toys, it feels really durable and is very sturdy.  Todd didn't manage to damage each time I have allowed him to have it throughout the week.  He takes testing "Scottie-tough-toys" very seriously!

Charlie was a little more gentle with the Jumber.    

But he did try to chew it, because that's just what he does.  He also didn't damage it.  

I think it's a fun toy that ticks all the boxes from durability to fun! 

It has become a favorite, especially for Todd -- Here's a little video so you can see for yourself.

Thank-you KONG for asking us to review the KONG Jumbler Football!  

If need a review of another one of your products, I hope you'll ask us again!

I'll now return to our irregular schedule of posting.  

Later today, I'l post an update on Gus and CarrieAnne's follow up vet-visits.  

Enjoy your Tuesday!!
